I saw a few videos shared on PeerTube recently, and created an account on an instance. However, unlike Mastodon and Lemmy I’m struggling to discover channels to subscribe to. When I use the search functions on my instance, most results are either interesting channels which haven’t been updated in years, or random foreign language TV shows and episodes.

Just for example, if I’m trying to find videos on “Gaming” on one of the largest instances, the most recent video is over 1 year ago: https://tilvids.com/search?categoryOneOf=7

Is discoverability on PeerTube bad, or are there barely any active channels?

Edit: BTW one very active creator on PeerTube is https://tilvids.com/c/thelinuxexperiment_channel/videos and his videos are excellent. But can there really only be a handful of active creators to follow on the whole platform?

    If you mean hosted on your instance, that you own, can you not delete content?

    If you mean you join an instance, and it has this content on it, well then you picked the wrong instance.

      You can. At which point it would be unsearchable.

      If you mean you join an instance, and it has this content on it, well then you picked the wrong instance.

      You’re thinking of this as a viewer and not a host.
